Not Tiger related, so hopefully I won't get into trouble. :mrgreen:

Looking for something for my commute to work.

Reward offered for a nice clean example, anything considered.

Cheers, Tony

Looks nice. Externally, though interior would have to be worked on for my taste. :lol:

I didn't say how much the reward was. :mrgreen:

Might even consider a light restoration project, and does anybody know if a big block Ford V8 will fit.....

Honestly, it's like getting blood out a stone. :D

Cars, windscreen frames, manuals, what do I have to do... :lol:

Have you tried the owners clubs btw?

You seem to have picked a bad time as a few seem to have sold recently.

I didn't know that there was an owners club. I'll have a look. Be happy with an abandoned restoration project, but I doubt we will see many of those now.

Wonder if shipping on ever from the US would be an idea for a rust free example, can't see them fetching top money in the US. Oddly enough my Tiger came from the US in 1986 when they were fetching top money in the UK, seems now that US commands a premium over UK prices, perhaps not so with the humble Commer/Husky variants. Wonder if Canada has any .....eerrr - sorry, I'm rambling :mrgreen:

Well, it looks like you have the Derv special, the black cob in London or the husky on US ebay....or you watch the auctions.

Thanks Mal, I am looking for a nice example and am hopeful I can find a solid car in the UK. Commer Cob or Husky I will consider, saw some beauties at the NEC classic car show in Birmingham this last weekend 8)
